"I just didn't have enough on this particular day, I definitely played some good tennis but it wasn't enough to win the match. And at the end of the day, no matter how good or bad you play, she's the one with the W.

This was a good week. It was a long but a solid week. I certainly had my opportunities in this match.It's definitely frustrating when you feel like you had them and just didn't take them, or was a little bit hesitant.

But I know the things that hurt me a little bit today. I just really want to go out on that court and just work on them a little bit more, because I know that they will help me a little bit more in the future.

I appreciate every support I can get, and I know I have my fair share of support. Whether it's in the stadium or if it's miles away, I know that I have it. You know, it definitely brings out the best in me.If you're down, they certainly can help you out. .

Justine Henin:"It's going to be very exciting to play her again in my second career.She's a real fighter. Everyone knows what she has done.She remains someone very, very strong. She has the fighting spirit. It's going to be a question of attitude and trying to be aggressive. I want to win the match tomorrowxe2x80x9d.

Maria:"We've had some great matches in the past. I've had some tough losses and great wins.She has the ability to come out against all different types of players, no matter how big they hit or how strong they are, take the pace really well, play her own game and make you hit lots of balls.

It feels like it was just yesterday we last played… I look forward to this one." .
